Medical Xpress / New malaria vaccine shows promise in preclinical trials
Malaria is caused by a parasite that is spread to humans by infected mosquitoes. In 2024, almost 282 million people worldwide were infected and 610,000 died, according to the World Health Organization. Malaria is a leading ...
Phys.org / Acoustic driving enables controlled condensation of light and matter on chip
An international research team led by Alexander Kuznetsov at the Paul Drude Institute for Solid State Electronics (PDI) in Berlin has demonstrated a fundamentally new way to control the condensation of hybrid light-matter ...
Phys.org / Climate extremes hinder early development in young birds, research shows
New research from the University of Oxford shows that cold snaps and heavy rain can stunt growth and reduce survival prospects in UK great tit nestlings. However, breeding earlier within a season appears to buffer against ...
Phys.org / North Sea 'lost world' had habitable forests during the last Ice Age, study shows
Forests were growing on the now-submerged landmass of Doggerland thousands of years earlier than previously believed, according to a major new sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) study led by the University of Warwick. The ...
Phys.org / King penguins are the rare species benefiting from a warming world. But that could change
The warming world has disrupted the timing for plant and animal reproduction, and it's usually bad news for species that depend on each other—like flowers blooming too early and pollinating bees arriving too late. But researchers ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired device could lead to faster, more energy-efficient AI hardware
A team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new brain-inspired hardware platform that could help computer hardware keep pace with the explosive growth of artificial intelligence. By combining ...
Medical Xpress / Personalized support program improves smoking cessation for cervical cancer survivors
A new study led by UCLA researchers suggests that a personalized counseling program can significantly help women who have survived cervical precancer or cervical cancer to quit smoking—and does so at a cost that researchers ...
Phys.org / Study maps four flood model types and urges hybrid approaches to improve forecasts
Before rain begins to fall, scientists and engineers can predict where a storm might cause flooding thanks to advanced modeling and digital simulations that help guide billion-dollar decisions involving infrastructure design, ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental chemo drug triggers 'viral mimicry' signals that rally immune attack
In recent years, scientists have discovered that some chemotherapy drugs not only kill cancer cells directly, but at least in some patients, mysteriously also trigger their immune system to attack the cancer. That would seem ...
Phys.org / How volcanic eruptions and internal climate cycles jointly shape Asian monsoon rainfall
From the rice paddies of South Asia to the wheat fields of northern China, summer monsoon rains sustain the livelihoods of billions. Yet these vital rains fluctuate dramatically from decade to decade—a variability that ...
Phys.org / Watching quantum behavior in action: MagnetoARPES reveals time-reversal symmetry breaking in a kagome superconductor
Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei Huang and Ming Yi have ...
Medical Xpress / Unusual tumor cells may be overlooked factors in advanced breast cancer
An enigmatic type of circulating tumor cell called a dual-positive (DP) cell is associated with shorter survival time in patients with advanced breast cancer, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine ...
